This is the TRIAL version of "Smart Keyboard PRO" (it has the same features but with a nag screen). Buy the Pro version if you like it!

VERY IMPORTANT! IF YOU GET BACK TO THE DEFAULT ANDROID KEYBOARD AFTER THE UPDATE, PLEASE MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

*** To enable the keyboard, go to “Language and keyboard” settings, and check “Smart Keyboard Trial” box. Then:- on Android < 3.0: long press in any text input area until a popup menu appears, select "Input Method" in this menu, and choose "Smart Keyboard Trial" in the list (see the video)- on Android > 3.0: pull the status bar while the keyboard is visible, and choose "Select Input Method", then "Smart Keyboard Trial"

IMPORTANT: the Pro version is a standalone app, you don't need to keep this Trial if you installed the Pro version. You can transfer easily your settings to the Pro version by using "Backup to SD card" option in Trial settings, and then "Restore from Trial" in Pro settings.

i may change this later. BUT, the product gets dinged for its nagware tendencies. that's what this review is about. i was typing a long text message when the nagware screen popped-up. I literally stopped typing and came directly to the review screen here to share my disappointment at this business practice. To the developers: Let me try it for more than a little, before instructing the dancing reminders to parade all over my screen...reminders that don't go away until 'no thanks' is clicked at least 3x. i get it: you developed a good product and want paid for it. is this method one you have found that works? It does little but discourage me. So, sadly, the review is not on the merit of the product, but is overshadowed by the insistence of the developers to get in your face. update: one star downgrade. too much nagging, especially when the dialog can't be dismissed without clicking it 3 or 4 times. yeah... the Hacker's keyboard has everything i want. -uninstalled.

Google keyboard or Swype are 1000 times better. Swype has its own dictation program called vlingo based upon Dragon Dictation which is amazing. It will type while you talk and will get everything correct. Google has something similar just not quite as good. Although neither has skins both has themes or alternate views. The best thing they have is swipe. It allows you to drag your finger and type much faster than you can buy hunt and pecking. The keyboard arrangement in numbers and letters on the keys are all so much better. I will say that this program does have finer control of many aspects of the program. But it does no good if the dictation is bad and the characters of on keyboards are poorly arranged. Finally it's last generation if it doesn't have swipe. I cannot understand why so many people have downloaded this. Google keyboard and Swype are so much better. The purchased version of Swype is well worth the money. However many phones come with a version of it so you may want to check that.

No support Had a couple of problems regarding copying as well as the spelling checker, I wrote three emails but all were ignored, I suggest you try this application on your email and in elephant notebook before you purchase.

Finally have a microphone Spent 8 consecutive days attempting to get a microphone on my new galaxy note 4 keyboard in text messaging. 18 T-MOBILE Reps no 1 knew how to get the microphone back on the keyboard! I installed this program & somehow went somewhere & now I have a microphone on my text messaging keyboard thank you! The one rep told me to run the safe mode on my new phone which will bring back microphone. Did not work. I just learned about the Play Store 2 days ago which is misspelled it should be "PROGRAM APPLICATIONS."

bugs since switching to s5 used this app for 3 years on my s2 and love it but since switching to the s5 it seems after a period of inactivity it reverts back to the stock Samsung keyboard that came with the phone. really annoying

Lots of Promise Other than they seem to think that keys need gigantic spaces around them, this is by far the leader to replace Swiftkey. And since Swiftkey is officially broken on many phones now, I'm rooting for you guys. Please eliminate the key spacing. How about a "fat finger" and "skinny finger" mode??

Needs improvement This keyboard works well with 3*4 T9 keyboard layout. But most of the time I'm hitting or it's showing wrong key. Please include option to increase/decrease key width and gap between the keys. Then this keyboard will work great and I will buy pro version with 5 star rating.

The best keyboard I have ever used! This key have all what I am looking for: 1. Chinese input 2. T9 phone style input 3. Able to correct a word and after correcting, don't auto insert a space which I like 4. Able to calibrate the keyboard for more accurcay in typing 5. Highlighted the suggested word 6. Easy to find the ? , . - _ punctuation keys without switching to another layout 7. Able to customize the User dictionary 8. Able to customize the emotions 9. Able to change keyboard skins 10. FREE!

Layout it good but... Need to improve the auto correct/suggestion database. For example...I type in cat and it changes it to gather.....I sure cat is used a lot more than gather. This happens many times a day with words that aren't even close to being spelled the same.

4.5/5 All very good, but not all. 1) not possible to force Russian and Ukrainian in one layout (like English + Finnish, etc.). 2) when digits shown in own row, alt for second qwerty row still digits, and digits don't have own alt, so total two lines don't have alt key. Maybe users costume layout can fix this and others issue.
